I must go down to the sea again, to the Lion Man and his shack
To follow the Lion Queen again on her sand blown, rocky track

To hear the heaving ocean, Breakers thundering on the shore
Where the whale bones bleach under pitiless skies
And the wind whispers “never more”

Never more to the Queen of the lion clan
Who bestrode these shattered wastes
Oblivious to the eyes of the man
All alon...

On your balcony facing the strand

a monstrous face
on an approaching night,
its madcap roar
ordered the dark behemoths below,
in sync with t...

Never before had he known a colour touch him that way,

This indigo held a tenderness and cool warmth which confused him.

And yet,

As the neon lights dimmed and harsh sounds abated,

He felt drawn to the dark, to go in search of his liberty

And yet

Like a dimmed aquamarine siren, it called to and reassured him,

He would be safe, it would hold him in its arms, nothing could, woul...

The sea by night is a beast of a different nature

Sinuously moving around the harbour wall

A snake, a boa, suffocating granite barricades.

Crashes home, then silent, waits.

An enemy, a mystery, oily, oleaginous,

Creeping deeper than fate.

In innocence boats rise and fall, as if sleeping.

Starlight sparkles and the to...
